Every (wo)man is tasked to make (her) life, even in its details, worthy of the the contemplation of (her) most elevated and critical hour. -Henry David Thoreau

Shifting Gears

I have been moving a (very) little bit. I met my workout (and general) buddy, Elizabeth, for a walk around one the lakes here in town last weekend (3.1 miles) Then the puppy and I had a couple of walks last week (also totaling 3.1 miles). Today the puppy, husband, and I went on a .9 mile walk. I still need to increase frequency and intensity and be consistent with the exercise. I am gaining weight. I lost almost 30 pounds in a year. (There, there is a firm number for you.) I could have and should have done better. Even worse, though, over the last few months, I have slowly put about half of that back on. This must be reversed. Now.
